Refurb iMacs

Check out the price drops on the refurb previous generation iMacs

Comparing the previous top of the line to the bumped 21 incher... They always make it difficult

Last week I would have jumped on that but now - the old one has more graphics memory, I don't have an opinion on the nVidia vs ATI - but to save that $150 you lose the LED back lighting, the wireless keyboard, magic mouse, and I guess that is it. It seems like the new $1499 21 incher is the better deal.

I submit that for almost all uses, this has been moot for years.

The LED on the LCD is nice, granted, but I'm meh wrt wireless keyboard & mouse. Just two more things to worry about keeping charged.

If ever there was a good candidate for those charging pads. . .

I just wanted to say that this thread was so entertaining for me to read during the last few weeks. There was the part of me desperately waiting for a new iMac model while the other part was losing hope. I can't wait for my new 27 inch mac to get here!

Cheers!

I wholeheartedly agree. I often read Macrumors as much for the breadth of the contributions as for the threads that are of specific interest to me. I hope you get to enjoy your imac soon

Only the C2D machines have Nvidia chipsets. It makes sense since otherwise they have to put a dedicated graphics card in everything.

And who knows 12-18 months down the track there could be quad-cores in the high end mini and low end imacs. Now that would be sweet!

Nothing comes along for ages then bam! a whole torrent of updated, upgraded, price reduced product comes along all at once. Wonder what will be next and when...................
Sorry folks I just realised I should have combined two of my posts.

Couldn't tell it better myself! Thanks, I can't wait!

Are you getting a new computer yourself?
